SPARTA, N.J. (CBS 2) – Imagine driving and suddenly you’re bombarded by flying ice and shards of glass. That’s what happened to one driver because someone in front of her didn’t remove snow and ice from his truck.

It’s the law in New Jersey and it’s a reminder as the next storm approaches, reports CBS 2’s Christine Sloan.

The thick sheet of ice went through the windshield of a Jeep Wrangler, showering the driver, Cheryl Hubere, with shattered glass.

“She got some glass in her eyes and in her mouth and in her scalp and stuff,” said Tom Perkins, the victim’s husband.

Police said ice that injured Hubere came off of a John Heine Plumbing truck, which they pulled over and ticketed under a new law that holds drivers responsible if ice or snow flies off of their cars.
